CITY 01: MOUNDS VIEW <br />PIMUMM MARIb1TIV1i <br />Project Description: Purchase and installation of one (1) 125 db Civil <br />Defense Warning Siren and relocation of two (2) <br />III) dh Earning Sirens. <br />Project Location: City of Mounds View <br />I. Corner of County Road I and lidgewood Drive <br />(new installation) <br />2. Corner of Cheshire Lane and Dickens Lane <br />(relocation) <br />3. 3..351 Groveland Road (relocation) <br />Project Justification: The Deficiency Report portion of the Mounds View <br />Civil Defense Warning Plan, tinted .tune 1, 1977 <br />and approved by the State of Minnesota and <br />Regional Office in July 1977, indicated that the <br />City's warning system provided coverage to only <br />30% of the Mounds View population according to <br />the 70/Ill standards. These conditions have not <br />changed as evidenced by the City's Warning Develop- <br />ment Plan dated ,little I , 1983. <br />It is the City's desire to relocate the two (2) existing llll db sirens and <br />purchaso a new 125 dh siren in order to provide warning coverage to 900 of the <br />population. Particular emphasis is placed on providing adequate warning coverage <br />to the three (3) trailer parks located in the City which are considered high risk <br />areas due to the type of construction and the frequent high wind conditions <br />experienced in the City. <br />The tripling of siren warning coverage proposed by this project will signifi- <br />cantly enhance the City's capability to warn its residents of pending weather <br />conditions or other potentially serious situations. The City will assume full <br />responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the system. <br />The locations for the sirens are not within any identified flnnd zone :areas or <br />known areas of historical significance. <br />
